I landed a “I’m Allergic to Bananas” a couple minutes ago… The ironic thing is, my sister is allergic to potassium based foods which means she can’t eat bananas. XD

Love that trick! Once I was able to understand the mechanics of it, I came up with this variation:

Revolutions.

Keeping the slack controlled is the hardest part for me… but I finally got it to work this last weekend and have since done it several more times successfully.

Now to move on to the green triangle version…

^Challenge accepted!

Magic drop magically came to me today. Took a long break from this trick prior. Was just messing around waiting for some take out when I kept accidentally rejecting on this combo I was working on. Decided to try magic trick and its like I never had an issue with it.

I just learned magic drop like a week ago… still having some trouble with it, but not for the reasons other people are. The thing is I can get the string to reject fine, but when that happens the string behind my TH thumb always seems to move a bit and I often misjudge where to land the yoyo… I have landed it plenty of times, and I can definitely do it, it’s just that I often have trouble with that string moving and landing the yoyo on it. 😛 I guess I just gotta keep streamlining it until it works out for me.

I learned Poppin’ Fresh over the past couple of weeks for a ladder video contest on Reddit - then forgot to make the video! Still, it’s a fun trick.

Can’t be any worse than my really bad early Pop n Fresh attempts. I need to try 1A Sport Ladder again now that I have some more tricks down.

Today brought me messing around with yet another side style bind. Nothing crazy or complicated, just fun and looks cool/flashy (when I do pull it off correctly, happens so quick it’s easy to bind your hand in it lol)

Shockwave, did about 3 reps. This trick will only help me get better with Magic Drop which has been a struggle lately as I am currently working on Kamikaze (can get 90% of the way through it now).

Working on making kamikaze faster and learned matreshka last night. Pretty easy trick but having trouble with landing the drop every time. Also, trying to do matreshka but landing into a GT. any one else do this? I did it a few times by mistake.

Did a Kamikaze in its entirety during those last few minutes of my lunch break. It wasn’t the prettiest but I technically did complete the trick 🙂

Glad I seem to have found (for now that is) what is working with that pain in the butt Magic Drop as that’s half of what was holding me up…and missing that final roll back when doing those last few moves from the Magic Drop.

Now let’s see if I can catch this on video later!
